Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"

Tour de France!

Happy Fourth! Enjoy your time and thank a soldier!

Now, the Tour deFrance starts today. I'm amp'd up and ready to get this run in before it starts. Ah, all the wasted ours of watching on TV. Another Floyd Landis deal and I'll freak out - I want those hours of my life back...even if he is/was innocent!

Yes, I pull this picture out every year at this time. I'm pretty sure that Bobke is NOT mad here. Ha, yep, met him and he is hilarious. Plus, there was a line of guys behind us waiting to meet him. Do you think that's why he hung onto us for at least 10 pictures?!

We even got him to wear one of our pieces of flair! A very proud moment. What IS he looking at here? We do love Bob Roll...

They're still running Tour de France? I thought they had given it up because of all the drug scandals?

If they want to get drugs out of sport heres my solution. Test everybody, after every race. Random tests during training. If an athlete tests positive (after rerunning tests and other lab protocols) they're out for a year. Second positive and they're out. Period. Done. Forever.

What's a Floyd deal?

Maybe I missed something along the way. Who, or what, is the guy in the photos?

No wonder Bobke is smiling...love the guy...actually helps a runner dude understand cycling....Going to be an interesting year for Team Astana...who will be the Alpha male...and Levi looked really good yesterday on the time trial...have to wait and see....

IronMissy - it's official!

Enough about me, what do you think about me?

I'm not really great at swimming, biking or running...I'm just OK at all three! Hell, I pretty much just ride for fun and run for the company any more. I have dogs instead of kids and think that all my friends WITH kids are saints. I write as though I'm talking so forgive my "proper" use of grammar.
